⭐ Baking with Shapes
Keep learning about 2D shapes by making cookies in different shapes. Use different-shaped cookie cutters or create shapes in the dough freehand with a pizza cutter. As you bake, discuss the properties of each shape and the similarities and differences between the shapes you make.
⭐ Shape Hunt Around the House
Take the 2D shapes from the worksheets into the real world by having a shape scavenger hunt at home. Join your child in looking for objects at or around your home that match the shapes on the worksheet, such as circular clocks, rectangular doors, or square windows.
⭐ 2D Shape Matching Game
Work with your child to draw two sets of the 2D shapes from the worksheets onto small squares or paper. As an added challenge, ask your child to try writing the name of the shape on the paper, too. Make sure your shape and writing aren’t visible through the paper. Mix up all the squares of paper and flip them over so the shapes are facing down. Now flip over one square of paper at a time, trying to find its matching shape.
